Online Resources

 Please see my wakelet on Equity in Health and Physical Education. Feel free to add an additional resources that you feel are beneficial to it.

While looking through a few of the bookmarking websites there were a few that stuck out to me through my time in the classroom that I think can be used beneficially to both engage our students more in the content of what we are teaching, and to also increase there levels of digital literacy.

In terms of teaching health and phys ed I think that the integration of Tick Tok would be beneficial. There are different physical challenges as well as healthy cooking options that can be searched for and have the students try either in class or at home. As it is something that they enjoy doing right now we can get them to have fun while practicing their movement skills without knowing that is what we are doing. We can also use it in terms of collecting and bookmarking to a class account and we can build on videos that can be useful in the health units of personal safety and substance abuse with the videos that they can find on there.

Another really beneficial site that can be utilized in a health and phys ed class, especially a fitness class, is Pinterest. There are several different food and workout collections that can be located on there. We can collaborate through the website to create workouts that can be completed either in a weight room or at home without equipment and we can upload different videos of workout ideas using different at home items for people who don't have access to workout equipment. 

I also think that by incorporating websites like these that are a little more social media based will help the students to increase their levels of self esteem because it will be teaching them how to use them properly and to not put as much influence on their thoughts and feelings as they otherwise might be. We can teach them what they are good for and how they can be manipulated so that they are not wanting to achieve the unachievable with their bodies or want to alter things that shouldn't be altered.
